On the class wiki site, post your favorite new Web 2.0 tool that has not been covered in detail in this class that you have discovered in this course or elsewhere. List the URL, what the tool is, and why you find it useful using the wiki template page. No duplication allowed-each page must be an original new tool. This can be done after reviewing the Unit 9 material, which covers more Web 2.0 resources.
This tool is an app or website that allows teachers, studentsor full classes/partners to interact in a review game style. Itgives you real time formative assessments on how the classdid on certain topics and questions. It provides instantfeedback and the kids love the game style. Teachers canexport student scores and give them a grade on it as well.There is a game setting where teams race to complete thequizzes for points. This is a free software for both the Internet and app versions. There are no ads, but it allows for a lot of collaboration in the classroom. I think this app is designed specifically to capture student understanding so it is perfect for review at any grade level.
Educational Uses of Site
I think that teachers can use this tool as a ticket in or out of the classroom. They can show students names and scores or omit them. Students can play interactive review games as well in quiz style.
Review of Site
I used this with my seniors as a ticket in the door to review yesterday's assignment. They seemed to like it, but a cell phone or computer is necessary for them to participate (could be a downfall).
